@Bencjacobs offense was being persistent reporter asking about CBO score of health care bill (showing 25 million people losing health ins)
Aside what this says about Gianforte's temperament and fitness for office, shows how toxic health care/CBO question is on campaign trail

And I attribute some of this to Trump and others demonizing journalists and the important work they do to protect our democracy.

Journalism is more vital---yet more dangerous---than it has been in the modern American era. Glad to hear
@Bencjacobs is okay. -
A huge number (by Montana standards) of votes in this election have already been cast by mail. So hard to say if incident affects outcome
-
I thought this story takes the CBO score out of the headlines. But since that's the reason for the bodyslam of reporter, it enhances it
